Altered Bird House

                                              Altered Bird House


           Hello my everyone, it's been a week since I posted last which I hope everyone enjoyed.

             
       Today, I'm sharing my Altered bird house that I turned into a business card holder. 

 
                    Above is what was in the package. Once I made sure I had everything.
                     I did a little sanding using a  simple nail file to smooth all the edges. 


           
                 Once the sanding is done, I took the individual wood pieces and painted the

       inside one color and the outside another. After the paint dried, I glued the pieces together.


                       
                                This is my finished altered bird house/ business card holder.

Altered Jewlery Box - Pinque Peacock Challenge

Hey there friends and fellow crafty peeps.


I'm anxious to start this blogging adventure and wanted to start sharing my work.  

My sweet friend, Jessica, is the owner over at Pinque Peacock and introduced me to some of the monthly challenges they host.  For June the theme is Anything Goes....everyone's favorite, right?

Here is my project.  






I ordered the Paper Mache' Jewelry Box from Pinque Peacock and painted it with a acrylic paint and then spray painted a glaze to give the Paper Mache Jewelry Box that special shine ........



I also added an assortment of flowers and Sprays that I purchased from Adele Garcia in Glimpz of Memories.  Her flowers are gorgeous!  


The Butterfly and Pearl Stick Pin is also a purchase from Pinque Peacock. There is a wide selection of styles and colors to select from in the shop and you should really stop over to check them all out.  Jessica also works with customers who have custom order ideas!!!



Stop over to join the fun at Pinque Peacock Challenges & Link Ups.  Just link up your great Anything Goes Projects for a chance to WIN some Crafty $$$ to Spend at the Pinque Peacock Shop!  You don't have to use Pinque Peacock Products to PLAY ALONG, but if you do use them and share a link to their place in the shop, you get BONUS ENTRIES in the Prize Drawing!

WELCOME!!

Hello Blogger Friends! 
 I have finally taken the plunge and started my very own Craft Blog. I'm eager to learn the ropes, connect with friends, and learn from all of you Seasoned Crafters!  I hope that my page will enlighten those who visit and would love for any and all Honest Criticism you have to offer in attempt to help me grow my skills and talents with my creations.

I anticipate I will have to learn a lot of things regarding Blog Etiquette, but only hope you will be patient with me along this journey.

My name is Lori.  I have been working with Paper Crafts for many, many years.  I recently connected with some great online crafte's on Facebook and see that many of them blog about their experiences and creations.  I thought this would be a great way to learn and grow myself.  I'm a Mother of 3 and a Wife first, and foremost.  Creating is a deep passion for me.  I love to make things that others can enjoy.  I sell my Handmade Creations and love hearing responses about them.
